Dad Tired

This one starts funny… and gets real fast.

In this conversation with Tim Hawkins, we talk about why so many men feel stuck—even when life looks good on the outside.

We get into burnout, chasing affirmation, marriage struggles, and what it actually looks like to heal.

If something feels off… this might be why.

How many times do we go back to the same thing… hoping it will finally satisfy?

In this devotional from Pastor Kaleb Allen (John 4), we look at the “five husbands” idea and ask a hard question:

What are you still chasing?

You don’t need more stuff.

You need more clarity.

In this episode, Joshua Becker and I talk about minimalism, contentment, and why so many men feel overwhelmed right now.

We get into the connection between your possessions and your peace… and how simplifying your life can actually help you become a better husband, dad, and disciple of Jesus.

Jesus didn’t avoid Samaria—He walked straight into it.

In this devotional from John 4, we’re reminded that:

• We often ignore the very people Jesus would pursue
• We carry the gift of living water
• And we’ve been sent on mission, whether we realize it or not

Simple. Direct. But it’ll challenge the way you move through your day.

Most men don’t reject Jesus—they reshape Him.

In this conversation with Kyle Idleman, we unpack what it really means to follow Jesus as Messiah and King, not just Savior.

If your faith feels shallow, comfortable, or disconnected from real life… this might be why.

You feel stuck. Like you're not growing. Like you're failing more than you're winning.

But in Genesis 15, God shows us something powerful:

The promise doesn’t depend on you.

While Abram was asleep… God made a covenant with Himself.

Meaning—God will finish what He started in you.

So take a breath today. You’re not behind.

God’s not done with you.

Most guys don’t feel broke because they don’t make enough money…

They feel broke because everything feels out of control.

In this episode, I sit down with George Kamel to talk about something we don’t address enough as men:

👉 the connection between your money… and your peace

We talk about:

• why so many men feel financially overwhelmed (even with good income)
• how money stress is quietly affecting your marriage and leadership
• the trap of thinking “I just need to make more”
• how to actually get control of your finances (practically, not theoretically)
• and why financial peace is a discipleship issue, not just a math problem

If you’ve ever felt behind, stressed, or unsure where your money is going…

this one’s for you.

Palm Sunday began with “Hosanna”… and ended with “Crucify Him.”

Why? Because Jesus didn’t meet their expectations.

In this episode, we wrestle with a hard truth: sometimes Jesus won’t fix the thing you’re asking Him to fix—because He’s going after something deeper.

The question is… if He doesn’t show up the way you hoped, will you still trust Him as King?

Most men carry a story they’re ashamed of.

Bad decisions.
A past they wish they could erase.
A quiet fear that maybe they’ve already messed things up too badly.

Jermaine Wilson knows that feeling.

By 15 he was in juvenile corrections.
By 19 he was in prison again… holding his baby son and wondering if he would ever become the man his family needed.

But prison became the place where everything changed.

Through the gospel, brotherhood, and the grace of God, Jermaine’s life was completely transformed. Today he’s a father, grandfather, leader with Prison Fellowship… and even served as mayor of the city where he was once incarcerated.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can redeem your story, this episode is for you.

Ever feel like you’re doing all of this on your own?

Work, marriage, parenting… it can feel heavy.

But Jesus made a promise in John 14—He wouldn’t leave you as an orphan.

In this episode, a simple but powerful reminder:
you’re not alone… and you were never meant to live like you are.
